After finishing the establishment of the new management centre, HSBC will continue investing in employees, service platforms and financial technology, said Nuno Matos to Taipei Times . The wealth and personal banking chief executive of HSBC also mentioned that Taiwan is an important market in Asia and that its high-net-worth customers make up about 10% of the country’s population.

By the end of this year, HSBC saw its pre-tax profit coming from wealth management and personal banking increase by 70% annually from the first half of 2022. The client base for wealth management showed twofold growth year-on-year in 2021 in Asia. For HSBC, the number of high-net-worth clients grew by 40%, while the assets under management rose by 22% from a year earlier, continued Matos. 

The company gained a larger market share by providing comprehensive products and offering their clients customized services, managing to keep a sustainable growth over the year. According to the chief executive, the key interest rates of the bank have raised over the year as well.
